This morning, Fox News featured ISAW Exhibitions Director Jennifer Chi discussing the history of the Crown with Building Facade Decoration and Vultures, included in ISAW's current exhibition Masters of Fire: Copper Age Art from Israel.  In the video, Chi explains that the object signifies the presence of an elite group in the society that required a statement of their position.  Archaeologists have identified this 6,000 year old crown as the oldest known in the world.
